Hacking Cult of the Lamb Save Decryptor

Wheels35 · Aug 15, 2022

For anyone wondering more about changing out the Doctrines I have finally finished updated my list here: https://github.com/Wheels35/CultoftheLamb/blob/main/doctrine_numbers.md

While the formatting isn't perfect, I threw together a quick markdown file so people can reference it.

Hey.

There is a bug in the game that doesn't unlock anything when you reach tier 3 divine inspiration and unlock refinery. There is a patch on Steam but GOG doesn't get one yet - does anybody know what the ID is maybe if I re-lock and then unlock it in game I can recover my softlocked save?

If not, is there a list of research tech in divine so I can paste the list in and make the game a fun playground at least? I suspect just filling it with numbers is a bad idea.

Refinery ( the middle option ) is UnlockedUpgrades: 34.
I haven't had the issue with the bug, This is how i would go about testing it: Backup your save, then remove that number, launch the save, verify its unchecked, save over it from in game WITHOUT UNLOCKING the refinery, quite to main menu, launch save, then unlock it again. ( Please let me know if this works )

I don't have a full list of the tech yet, due to the way the upgrade list works and unlocking stuff with divine inspiration sometimes unlocks other things along with the tree node, so I have to do a lot of manual verification.

The switch version seemingly is encoded differently unfortunately, meaning it doesn't decrypt with the site.
I haven't spent too much time investigating it, but as of right now it doesn't look like its possible

It is a known bug, some dependency is broken. First time I played, I unlocked tier 3 ASAP cause i wanted to see the tech tree, second time around I unlocked all I can (ironically cause I was aware of the bug) and left the T3 last.

Removed UnlockedUpgrades 34, loaded game from main menu, the upgrade was locked, unlocked it in game, T3 correctly released and the game is playable, thank you.

Then fully read your post again, saved the game over the modded slot, the save got encrypted, quit, loaded encrypted save, all is well.

We're all watching this space, this thread is literally the only result Google has if you are looking for game internals. And with mods not coming any time soon, this and maybe a CE table is all we're getting in terms of customization.

Is there any way to get snail shells throgh this? I found only "ShellsGifted", but I wish to gift them manually if possible.

Even better, if I'd get the info in general on how to add some things to the inventory.

Do you already have shells that were gifted? If possible could you share your save?

You can try doing this:

Search for exactly this "items": [ its near the bottom of the JSON file.
For shells add this to the bottom inside the right square bracket above IngredientsCapacityLevel:
,{
"type": 117,
"quantity": 0,
"QuantityReserved": 0,
"UnreservedQuantity": 0
}

Make sure you set quantity and UnreservedQuantity to the same number.

You can also get a list of the items in the game from my item list here:

Yep if you search for exactly this "items": [ its near the bottom of the JSON file.
For Heart of a Heretic add this to the bottom inside the right square bracket above IngredientsCapacityLevel:
,{
"type": 22,
"quantity": 0,
"QuantityReserved": 0,
"UnreservedQuantity": 0
}

Make sure you set the quantity you want. Both the quantity and UnreservedQuantity field should be updated with the same number.

If you want to cheat in unlimited tree unlocks change "AbilityPoints": to any number you would like.

For anyone thats missed it thusfar, below are my current list with instructions for each on how to modify the necessary values:

Item IDs: https://github.com/Wheels35/CultoftheLamb/blob/main/item_list.md

Is there a way to reset the cooldown of a particular ritual? I've looked through the .json and it's a bit of a pain to even look for it because the site put it all in one huge line.

abzzu · Aug 17, 2022

I ended up having a bug after almost 30 hours of play that I bought a taro card and it didn't count, does anyone know what exactly I would need to change? I spent a good 2 hours looking for it but nothing worked (a taro card sold at the base of mushrooms where there is sozo the madman who teaches brainwashing)

Tarot cards are something I haven't touched yet. Unfortunately, I think they fall under the generic 'UnlockedUpgrades' object so its going to be difficult to narrow them down until I know how to regenerate the cards available.

Could you toss me your save and I can see if I can narrow it down for you?

if you open in VSCode with Beautify/Json Prettify (my prefered) or Notepad++ with JSTools plugin you can prettify the json. I haven't gone through and verified which Ritual is which yet, but they are listed under UpgradeCooldowns be warned it is also used for other cooldowns in the game, and not just Rituals. Crown unlocks fall under it as well.

i cannot open the file after it gets decrypted, my notepad++ crashes

Notepad does not work as well

I have the fisherman's mission bugged, I can't get the last piece of the talisman, do you know if the mission can be reset? or modify the pieces of the talisman, I tried like this:

{
"type": 114,
"quantity": 1,
"QuantityReserved": 0,
"UnreservedQuantity": 1
}

in the end if it has worked for me with this last change, in case someone needs it.

Is it bugged in the way that you can't turn in the last special fish, that you can't seem to fish the last fish or after turning in the last fish you don't get anything?

PukanBOOM · Aug 17, 2022

I also have a question - how to edit boss kill checkbox for Kallamar?
It bugged out for me(

I can't deliver the last fish, in my case the octopus, and I don't receive the last talisman fragment

my fear was precisely that you said that, when I looked for the "triggers" so to speak of the letter I only found generic things, nothing fixed, well in doubt here is the save

No need to re-encrypt it ?
Also interested about the bug above, as I also have the game on GoG. Thanks
